The most beautiful Sparkling Water Maker by Aarke

Today we have the most refreshing summer time Give-Away for you! Make your sparkling water at home and give the summer heat wave the cold shoulder ;)

We had a few very hot weeks in Berlin and have been drinking a large number of iced coffee these days 🙂 Our fridge is always filled with a lot of ice cube buckets, even our dogs love to play with the ice cubes and lick them, when we come back from a little dog walk. Normally we do a an iced latte, but a few months ago we tried an espresso tonic the first time and loved this refreshing espresso tonic immediately. We never really made it at home, because we never really thought about bying sparkling water. Until now – we had the great chance to test a sparkling water maker – by the swedish brand Aarke (what means “everyday” in the traditional language of a little nordic swedish area). As you might know, we love scandinavian design and this is by far the most beautiful sparkling water maker you can think of. It comes in different colors: a timeless steel design, an industrial black matte version (which just looks like it was designed for our kitchen), an elegant brass and copper version and for minmalists you can have it in a cool white look. Besides it´s high quality look it´s super easy to use. You just need a CO2 cartridge to start, which is sold here in Germany in every supermarket. It takes less then a minute to screw it in and then you only have to fill the Aarke water bottle with water and pull the lever 1,2 or 3 times down – depending if you like your sparkling water slightly, medium or classic sparkling. We had so much fun carbonating the water – it makes a really cool look when all the bubbles pops up. The result tastes fantastic and we immediately wanted to create some virgin drinks for hot summer days. As Aarke was so kind to send us 2 of her beautiful Nordic Tonic syrups we knew we had to do 2 different drinks. One syrup is a classic bitter tonic, that´s why we choose that one for an espresso tonic – it tastes so good! The other tonic syrup has a hint of rhubarb, for this drink creation we went for a refreshing note of grapefruit and an elegant twist of rose. Loved the result and the color is so pretty! If you love the idea of creating your own sparkling water at home you can win one Aarke sparkling water maker and just enter the Give-Away (for EU citizen only) with writing a comment below, which color design you can imagine best for your kitchen, follow Aarke on Instagram and tag a friend in our Instagram post. You can enter the Give-Away until monday the 22nd of july 2019. We wish you all the best luck and a refreshing summer time! Enjoy our summer drink creations and hope to see you here soon again 🙂

I love the look of these! I would really love to win the black one (Black is my happy colour!) and this would mean a healthier and more environmentally life for me and my partner! I commented on insta under my business name - wearemood.co :)

I’ve craved sparkling water since I was pregnant with my first daughter. This would be perfect for me and my family in the stainless steel colour ... and a perfect way to reduce plastic bottle waste too!

Ooooh! Ever since the warmer days, we have been doubting to buy our own sparkle machine but we haven't yet because normally, they're not the most stylish devices... But I am surely in love with this one 🥰 the black one seems just made for our kitchen!

The stainless version would work best in my kitchen. This has been on my wish list for ages as I’m tired of hauling around bottles of water from the store for those in my household who insist on bubbles.

It makes me happy to see so many people waking up to alternatives that will eliminate single use plastic bottles - which is the reason that I came upon the Aarke sparkling water maker. If Lady Luck is supporting me then yes please, I would be so grateful for a silver steel one!

After a major health kick and changing so many aspects of our lives to improve our health including diet & exercise as well as giving up smoking, caffeine & even chocolate over the last year the Aarke sparkling water maker would be a very welcome edition to our kitchen to add some sparkle into our every day. Being able to create so many delicious drinks that are still healthy and alcohol free with the sparkling water would be fantastic. The black colour would look incredibly smart too with it’s modern minimalism.

My boyfriend and I just bought our first house and just finished designing our (sustainable) kitchen. We were looking for a Sodastream because we want to minimize the amount of plastic bottles we buy. We wete a bit disappointed by the design of the Sodastream and how it would look on our brand new kitchen counter. I am so happy I found your blog post, because the design of the Aarke Sparkling Water Maker in Steel is just beautiful! It would be amazing to see it *sparkle* in our new house!

My boyfriend and I just bought our first house! We just finished designing our (sustainable) kitchen and were looking for a Sodastream. Unfortunately the design of the Sodastream is not that pretty so we were a bit disappointed that we have to put one of those on our new kitchen counter. I’m so happy I saw this blog post! Because Aarke’s design is sooooo pretty! The steel one would look amazing om our new kitchen counter and the thought of reducing our plastic waste by using it makes it even better! Thank you for the change to win this beauty. Can’t wait to see it *sparkle* in our new house! ✨🤗
